Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality is calling on church and political leaders to confront the unhealthy lifestyle choices contributing to the majority of the country's HIV infections.

The 17th International AIDS Conference will wrap up in Mexico City on Friday (August 8). In attendance is California mega-church pastor Rick Warren who says HIV-AIDS is a "global pandemic" that the church can help solve by "show[ing] compassion, kindness and the love of Christ." However, Peter LaBarbera says while he commends the idea of a church-based effort to fight AIDS in Africa, he is troubled that many church and political leaders are afraid to take on the primary source of the AIDS problem in the United States.

"We know that homosexual behavior and homosexual promiscuity are linked to AIDS. A very obvious connection is brought out in the CDC statistics [see related video report], and yet nobody in any position of authority -- and that would include the White House -- seems to want to deal with taking action against the sources of spreading HIV here in the United States," LaBarbera points out.

Senator Tom Coburn (R-Oklahoma) says sending 116 federal employees to the conference was a huge waste, costing taxpayers half a million dollars, including a $100,000 registration fee and $80,000 for airfare. Coburn suggests that the money could have instead been used to "prevent 59,136 newborns from becoming infected with HIV" or could have provided treatment to all 35 Americans on a waiting list for AIDS drugs.

Didn’t the UN come out this year just before school ended and told everyone their 20 year study proved that normal hetro sex does not cause AID’s and that it really actually is limited to the gay and drug community

I have said this many times, both on this forum and to my anatomy and microbiology students, that everyone is NOT equally likely to contract HIV/AIDS. It is a behaviorally spread disease primarily associated with contact with two groups: homosexual or bisexual males and/or IV drug users. Those are “just the facts ma’am”, but the MSM pretends otherwise.

HIV/AIDS infected people need to be quarantined no matter how much utterly selfish people scream. When this country’s commonsense was still intact measles, mumps, chicken pox, polio, TB, etc., were cause for quarantine.
